Ah, the Screen Actors Guild Awards (the 22nd Annual to be exact). It's the award actors like best because it's "from their peers." Because a pat on the back from a colleague is always better than a raise from your boss. The award ceremony itself is on January 30, but the nominations, announced today by Anna Faris and Anthony Mackie, are below. The big shockers? A total Empire shutout! No Fargo noms. Rami Malek's surprise (yet, deserved) nomination. And a "tie" in the ensemble comedy category that led to six nominations rather than the usual five. Otherwise, this year's noms don't differ much from last year's. See for yourself:
